ARF silently released new 16610LN's and 16610LV's

[soyuzrep]

I've seen the issue on various VS3135s. The fix, from what I recall, was to replace the VS date plate with that of a VR.

I'd recommend Sillan on Alibaba. I use this supplier for most of my rep part orders.

Typically I will order 2 as per MOQ but have also used the sample price for orders of a single item.

Oooh, good to know.

I've ordered a lot from Sillan, so I think I'll order this movement from him on sample price.

They usually get to my location in about 4 days.

I really appreciate it.

Thank you guys. I ordered a VR from Silan. He's always been good to me.

YMMV with dropping a VS3135 into an ARF or RAF case however the below thread, one of many demonstrates the issue.

I ordered the one you suggested! I'd rather a straight drop-in rather than fiddling around. Thank you again. Sillan is a good guy for 16610 parts, so I trust it.

Glad to have helped.

Sillan have never let me down and are fairly priced.

It looks like that crystal was one meant for a 2824 date position. Judging from where the cyclops is placed relative to the 2 and 4 marker.

Hi guys. i have one of these 16610LN from ARF. im trying to source a viet insert, like ghost faded or blue faded, whatever i can find at a good price. Can someone point me to the right direction to get a hold of these inserts? searched everywhere on the forum, cant seem to find a lead..

Guys, my ARF has mismatch of lume white tone, does anyone knows how to get one that matches?

Wondering what bracelet to get for my 16610ln, mini franken at the moment on a cheapo raffles. I’m torn between an Italian one or ginault, I do love the on the fly adjustment and comfort of the ginault, has anyone tried both and what do you prefer?

16610 bracelets

Does anyone know where to get a good quality bracelet for the 16610? Purchased a 5 digit lv which came with a raffles dial bracelet and its pretty horrible and of course, given price, feels very cheap. Looking for alternatives given the raffles is 'economy'. Searched and found history for...

Italian if you care about accuracy, but Ginault if you're a comfort guy.

IMHO I'd go Ginault. Italian bracelets are very pricey for what they are. Noone will care but yourself anyways.

Nice watch btw.

I think in that thread they say VSF bracelet fits too. Idk I never tried it.

Thinking about a Ginault for my RAF 16610LV too
